The Colors of Fiber Connections …
The colors chosen for 2023 Fiber Connections reflect the colors of the host state, Oregon. Â
 |
Blue waters border us and are within our borders, the Pacific Ocean, Columbia River, Crater Lake, and many smaller lakes and streams. |
 |
Green is for our agriculture, forests and the Willamette Valley. |
 |
The adobe rusty-red represents the rimrock overlooking so many places in Oregon, from the coastal cliffs to the Columbia Gorge, to Smith Rocks, to the Painted Hills. |
 |
Gold is for the golden fields found in all corners of the state, the sunshine on a summer day, and our state gem, the sunstone. |
 |
Purple represents our majestic mountains throughout the state and renowned wine industry. |
These colors connect us with the other states and provinces of ANWG with whom we share these great waterways, majestic mountains, vast forests, and rich fields. Have fun playing with the many possible combinations of Blue Ming, Lemongrass, Adobe, Old Gold, and Amethyst.
